Britain and Sadera. The two greatest empires of their worlds. When a Gate opens in the middle of South Africa, these two great nations at the height of their powers find themselves on a collision course, one that may alter history forever.

But when the Deeprok 12th needs a leader to stave off an approaching Chaos invasion, he may be the only man who can save them all.
